The size of a plum and less progesterone :)



12 weeks!

Thankfully, I am on less progesterone now.  The last 5 days I've done 1/2cc instead of the usual 1cc.  Even though it's the same giant needle, it's a little less obnoxious. 

Current stats:
Weight Gain: Since the FET I've gained 5-7 lbs.  It varies depending upon the day.

Cravings:  Olive garden salads, veggie pitas, coffee (I wish I could have more), juices (OJ, apple, grape), grape soda, english muffins. 

Nauseous: It has gotten much better over the last week.  The nausea will come up randomly now but usually for a short period of time and not as severe as it was a few weeks ago and nothing like last pregnancy.   Hopefully, with less progesterone injections, the nausea will die down-- and so will my crazy pregnancy acne. 

Belly touches: Thankfully, other than doctors, it's been kept to DH and the boys. 

Feeling:  More energy at times but still feeling run down.  I'm a little more excited to start getting things a bit more organized.  But damn. . . .this stupid, slow, long, dreadful Winter is going to kill me.

Boy or girl: I really have no idea but keep looking at 'girl' things for whatever reason.

Emotional state:  I have cabin fever.  It snowed another 5" today. . . it's almost March . . .it should hit 40 degrees for the first time since I have no idea when this week--for one day.  I just want to go outside and take a walk.  Even with a sweatshirt on and the temperature at 50 degrees would seem like heaven.  I cannot explain how much I want Spring to be here.    

Movement: I can't feel anything but DH and I have both seen how amazing "little squish" looks dancing on the high-res u/s scan last week. 

Told anyone yet?: We told everyone this week.  Sunday we had our parents and DH's brother over to a surprise video announcement.  We disguised it as a "Valentine's Day" party.  My parents were (as usual) two hours late and that started a whole new argument before they even got here.  It's nothing even worth explaining.  They have a useless excuse for everything.   To say 'they aren't dependable' would be the understatement of the year. 

Maternity clothes: Finally I went and bought two pairs of maternity jeans last week.  We still have not been able to find my old pairs.  However, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't even fit.  I'd love to get another pair of comfy pajamas, a robe and more maternity (long) tanks.

Baby purchases:  Nothing new.  I did start a Kohl's and Amazon registry of a very few things just in case my relatives bring up that they want to buy something.  I'm not going to bring it up but it's good for me to keep track the few things we would need to buy either way.

Nesting: I dread turning the office into the nursery.  It has so much stuff in it.  I'm not sure where it will go.  I have cleaned out a few rooms but still need to clean the basement and organize papers.
